Easiest turkey recipe I've ever used and the results were great! Moist breast meat and the dark meat was thoroughly cooked! I rubbed mine with butter and herbs for extra flavor.

Turkey came out perfectly especially for such a simple recipe. Just remember, 15 minutes per pound and it should not come out dry!

Too dry. I followed the recipe exactly. And, 3 hrs total was too much for my 14 lb turkey. Way overcooked and way too dry, especially for a fresh,heirloom, expensive turkey. Last year, i used Emeril's brined recipe with the same fresh, heirloom turkey source, and it was mouthwatering & perfect. The high heat may provide a crispy skin, but it's not worth drying out the meat for that aspect. I would suggest checking every 15 min after 2 hours, on the temperature, because I trusted too much in the recipe, and ended up with 180 degree meat at the 3rd hour, thinking I may have undercooked it, as I was following a 10-12 lb recipe.

The only reason I rated the recipe a 1 is because it doesn't specify how much salt/pepper. I smoke a lot of pork and beef, so when it said to rub with salt and pepper, I made a rub like I make with other stuff I'm used to smoking. Dumb on my part, yes, but just so everyone knows 1/4c (for 13lb chicken is WAY too much salt.

This is my second year to cook this turkey. My husband said it is the best turkey he's ever had in his life. It's so simple - no fuss.

I am definitely going to make this tomorrow. Wondering if anyone has tried olive oil instead of butter?

I take pride in the fact that I'm a good cook and turkey is no exception. Smile....

But....with a housefull this past Thanksgiving I wanted something that would be less work but without loosing flavor. Well I tried this recipe and let me say this was by far the best turkey I've ever made in my 40+ years of cooking!!! I was skeptical at first about the cooking time, but when I tell you the juices just "flowed" from this bird it's no exageration. Just remember to let your bird rest about 20-30 minutes, follow the recipt to the "t" and you'll have the best turkey ever!!!!!!
